Atma-Sphere MP-3 Mk. 3.3 vs. VAC CPA-1 MK II or Avatar Super - Recommendations

Considering adding 2-channel Tube PreAmp or Integrated with otherwise all SS analog audio system.

(Oppo BDP-105 Bluray + Nakamichi RX-505 Cassette Deck) >> [(Atma-Sphere MP-3 Mk. 3.3 PreAmp) or (VAC CPA-1 MK II PreAmp) or (VAC Avatar Super Integrated)] >> Parasound Halo A51 Amplifier >> Tyler Acoustics Linbrook System II Speakers.
